The fifth NASA TechRise Student Challenge invites teams of 6th-12th graders attending U.S. public, private, or charter schools – including those in U.S. territories — to submit science and technology experiment ideas to fly on a suborbital vehicle.
Participants gain critical skills in engineering, computing, electronics, and more that will be required for America’s technical workforce as well as real-world, hands-on experience with the same processes that professional researchers follow.
Competition winners receive $1,500 to build their payloads and an assigned spot on a NASA-sponsored commercial flight test: either Virgin Galactic’s Suborbital-Spaceship or a high-altitude balloon operated by World View Enterprises.
No experience is necessary to join the NASA TechRise Challenge! Teams receive technical support from advisors who help students learn the skills they need to bring their experiment to life as a payload on a suborbital vehicle.
